Skills

10 years of experience
Oral medication administration

Safety, trust & environment

We are on a 2.5 acre property, but no fence, so outside time will be on leash only- (we have long leashes for more freedom to roam). Inside is more flexible with free roam in the main area- very large sunroom, living room, and kitchen. We have a large area for dogs to sleep overnight comfortably either on a dog bed or crate, whichever is preferred.

Children 6-12 years old

Dogs not allowed on furniture

Information Karen F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or requirements ahead of time, if you are a new client, we can do a meet and greet ahead of time to see if we’re a good fit for each other!

A typical day

We love to play lots of games in the backyard, fetching balls and other toys, hide and seek treats, and practicing tricks! Never a dull moment! (Except at naptime…😴)

Old Hundred Dog Sitting

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Ingrid, a mom of 4 boys ages 3-12 and a dog owner to a boy Beagle named Otis. I’ve had dogs all my life and love being with them and caring for them! (I even trained Otis from a puppy!) We have a large house in the country on 2.5 acres of land. We LOVE having other dogs stay and visit! Otis and the children are very good with other dogs!

Ingrid was fantastic with Zazu! Also very responsive and accepted last-minute booking and sent tons of pictures and videos. If I am ever in the area again, I will surely be going to her.

Ingrid (Karen) was great. She took great care of Scout and kept me updated on how he was doing with messages, pictures, and videos.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
